DislikedHi Cubby, On 12.mars 2018 GBPCAD opened a long trade and gave us a huge DD. I have a question/suguestion: In that trade there were a lot of other setups that would have triggered, both in the opposite direction and the same. Have you tested to have multiple "sets" open at the same time and to work together in a basket for the 50pip target? (another kind of hedge, triggered by a valid setup) Or these sets could close out on its own 50pip target, minimizing the DD. I om not 100% sure but would this help on the DD? SmartcashIgnored
This is something I've actually overlooked because the EA was always intended on running at OANDA and US regulated brokers. This would potentially give us a bit less DD as it would give us a slight hedge. The hedge wouldn't be huge but it would be something. We could also have these opposite trades take a 50 pip profit as well instead of waiting for 50 total pips amongst all trades. Still something to explore here. This may be the first change I work on with the EA in the next version.
